Description

We present a new tool to assess quality of life of children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities based on the eight-domain model proposed by Schalock and Verdugo (2002). The development and validation process is briefly described, as well as the results obtained after the administration to a large sample. Implications for researchers, policy makers and practitioners are discussed to enhance inclusion, participation, and self-determination.
